Nah, there's no lion used in this dish, but its taste is indeed roaring. This course, named only after its lion-like shape, features fluffy, juicy, and tender meatballs that will tickle your family's taste buds. Simmered in a savoury broth with the mushrooms, black fungus, and cabbage that serves as its mane, it is one of the best combos to bring to your home's table. Skip the traditional method of cooking this dish and let it simmer in the Shuttle chef instead. Not only will you get the same taste, but you’ll save on electricity as well!

Add tofu, eggs, or coconut milk to complement its bright flavours - your family will surely love the change. Find the recipe here.

We have a Shuttle Chef®-friendly Adobo recipe for you here too. All you need to do is swap out the chicken for pork!

When it's a cold and wet day, there's no other option than to cook a searing Pork Sinigang. It is a deliciously sour soup with pork ribs and crisp veggies, that owes its distinct taste from a souring agent like tamarind, guava, or cotton fruit. Whichever you choose, serving a steaming bowl to your loved ones will give their much-needed warmth amid the chilly weather.

5. Apple Cider Pork Shoulder

The Apple Cider Pork Shoulder dish is the epitome of slow cooking, which needs time to undergo its much-needed marvel before it transforms into a savoury creation. It doesn't mean that you need to wait for it to unravel its palatable mystery, though. Just let it cook in a Shuttle Chef® as you go into your daily to-do list or while you visit the grocery store. Then, come back for it in a few hours and relish this cosy and self-saucing pork dish with your family.
